Thanks for this very helpful info.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e53d4616bb3f77a64000028Beware !Tue, 23 Aug 2011 12:25:05 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e53d4616bb3f77a64000028
Sorry for reopening this thread, but I followed these steps on the 11th and when checking my account today (23rd), I saw that the boxes were ticked again. BEWARE !http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e4937cb6bb3f75428000033Para FluieMon, 15 Aug 2011 11:14:19 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e4937cb6bb3f75428000033
All this makes me nervous, because, in fact I was stalked and in danger and want to remain somewhat inaccessible. So, I use different identities online.
On my LinkedIn identity, I use an email identity that has no contacts in it. And I use no telephone number. Imagine my surprise when today, I found that all my contacts from a DIFFERENT address had been connected to my LinkedIn account! Connections were thus available and advertised to me, with their photographs being added to the GMAIL account.
I'm a bit kerfuffled. How did they get my other address? What did they coopt? Must I simply totally privatize that account too?
I do not expect the full constitutional protection of my right to privacy (that has pretty much been abrogated forever) but I'd like to have some sense of choice/control over who gets to totally invade me.
And Roger, when you and your family are threatened with death and violence, you, too, might be a little less cavalier about the privacy some of us want to have.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e46b936ecad041f7a00000aSISat, 13 Aug 2011 13:49:42 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e46b936ecad041f7a00000a
i find it completely irresponsible by LinkedIn to co opt personal information without explicitly asking for permission.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e4575e36bb3f76e3f000021helPeopleFri, 12 Aug 2011 14:50:11 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e4575e36bb3f76e3f000021

Petra,
Color me sarcastic, but I am with you. LinkedIn exists to make money, like every other company. It is not a charity. What about the fine print changes on your credit cards? Check them much lately? Leech off the 'free' services as much as you want, but stop crying when it is time to pay for them.
LinkedIn's only crime is a poor notification plan. Don't most people join LinkedIn for corporate networking and exposure? Please, LinkedIn, pick me! Pick me!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e45326d69bedde94b000028Conrad ErdtFri, 12 Aug 2011 10:02:21 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e45326d69bedde94b000028
Thanks for the step-by-step guide.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e45261169beddf01700002cTed McKendryFri, 12 Aug 2011 09:09:37 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e45261169beddf01700002c
Wow, so hard ass sarcastic about spreading the spam malware adware love Petra. Work for LinkedIn much?
It's has nothing to do with greed. Just common sense. Would you drink from the same cup as someone you knew had a cold? I didn't think so.
Most services are free these days toots. Get with the program.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e44fbfdecad04295100000bArun VenkatesanFri, 12 Aug 2011 06:10:05 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e44fbfdecad04295100000b
Good information. Thanks!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e44c674ecad046a2d000044Petra QuilitzFri, 12 Aug 2011 02:21:40 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e44c674ecad046a2d000044
So you really thought the free ride would last forever? Who is the greedy one here?
And what terrible things will happen if you leave the settings as they are? Scary, you get a few more mails in your spam folder. Or you get a couple of more ads somewhere on the side of your free page. Big deal. You're a bunch of data sissies.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e44ae8769bedd790100000cSriniTFri, 12 Aug 2011 00:39:35 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e44ae8769bedd790100000c
Thanks. LinkedIn is obviously greedy which is understandable, but they are becoming sleazy as well which is unacceptable / outrageous... Let's spread this wide and let everyone know....http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e44aaad6bb3f7da1e000001WasifFri, 12 Aug 2011 00:23:09 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e44aaad6bb3f7da1e000001

They're getting greedy. Raising their fees, limited access to features that were once included in their paid accounts and now the selling of you to the highest bidder. Time for a competitor to come along and take away their value - the users.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e43fcda6bb3f79602000006lxa374Thu, 11 Aug 2011 12:01:30 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e43fcda6bb3f79602000006
Great. Thanks for the info. I have changed my settings as listed. Thanks again.
